Shanghai is an interesting team, strengthened with three players of the Superleague level. Such an approach is likely to help them improve the quality of play compared to last season, where the team was at the bottom of the standings. In the opening games, we see optimistic results and believe they can finish in the top 6.
Hainan is one of the newcomers who played in the third league last year. Frankly, among all the new teams, their prospects seem to us the most doubtful. They did not strengthen the squad and lost the main midfielder. The first games only confirm our doubts, so it will be difficult for them to fight for three points in an away match against Shanghai.
Our prediction: Shanghai to win. We recommend the “1 Win” bet, odds 2.56
